D-RATS RF Access Point

David Ranch All Messages By This Member #642 开云体育 ? Right now I'm using Teamviewer for remote access, as it's a Windows XP box now. I'm thinking I want to change it to a lightweight version of Linux. I'm looking at LUBUNTU. The .iso still fits on a CD. Lubuntu is very nice and light weight.? For me, Lubuntu was lacking some functionality but Xubuntu covered them and was still pretty light.? If you like eye-candy and your computer has a somewhat modern 3D video card, Mint is nice as well. I also have to look at how to put D-RATS in the startup queue. I don't remember D-rats offering an init script to start things so you can just add the running of the program at the end of the /etc/init.d/rc.local file I'm beginning to think the fldigi module is not going to work as well as I had thought, so I might drop it from the project. curious.. is it specifically not working?? Is the communications between D-RATS to Fldigi unstable??? Is D-RATS over HF not robust enough? I do not know what port Wires-X uses. Are you talking about Yaseu System Fusion Wires-X??? If so, it's well covered in the Yaesu HRI200 manual. --David
Mitch Winkle #644 Lubuntu served me well for a good long while.? Anything Xubuntu can do, Lubuntu CAN do if the right packages are installed....however: If you need really light weight and aren't overly concerned with the look of the X-Windows stuff, straight Debian LXDE is a champ.? My main production packet node (2 ports) runs on Debian Wheezy and I have done a lot of testing on Debian Jessie, the latest stable version.? Both using LXDE.? Very lightweight, and easy to maintain.? The ONLY gotchas are Debian doesn't install any non-free software so you may have to dig a bit (but easy to find) for some drivers for things like odd graphics cards or WiFi dongles.? Stick with RALINK or REALTEK and there are two firmware bundles that make those WiFi dongles perk right up. -- Mitch Winkle ...How long will you go limping between two different opinions?
